[a](A)Return, faithless Israel,’ declares Yahweh;
(B)I will not [b]look upon you in anger.

That you have transgressed against Yahweh your God
And have (E)scattered your ways of harlotry to the strangers (F)under every green tree,
And you have not listened to My voice,’ declares Yahweh.

‘For I am a (G)master to you,
And I will take you one from a city and two from a family,
And (H)I will bring you to Zion.’
